Drata is a mature tool. For a different buyer.
Drata is polished, enterprise-shaped SOC 2 + ISO 27001 software. Cybereen is built for AU and UK organisations whose auditors lead with Essential Eight, APRA, or ISO 42001 — and who'd rather see real pricing than book a sales call.
- Choose Drata if SOC 2 is your primary need, your buyers are US enterprise, and pricing isn't a constraint.
- Choose Cybereen if you're AU/UK, you need Essential Eight or APRA, and you want transparent per-user-per-month pricing.
- The fit line is geographic + framework-driven, not feature-driven. Both platforms work; pick the one your auditor already understands.

Where Drata is genuinely better.
Three honest things.
Enterprise polish.
Drata is mature software with deep enterprise feature coverage — sophisticated role hierarchies, multiple business units, white-glove implementation. If you're a 500-person org, that matters.
SOC 2 ecosystem.
Drata has long-standing relationships with US audit firms and a deep SOC 2 control library. For a US-buyer-facing SaaS, that ecosystem is hard to replicate.
White-glove onboarding.
Drata's implementation packages include dedicated GRC specialists. For teams without internal compliance capacity, that's real value — though it's also baked into the price.
Where Cybereen is the obvious choice.
For the buyer in the messy middle.
The standards your auditor leads with.
Essential Eight, APRA CPS 234/230, ISO 42001 — all native. Drata's roadmap doesn't credibly cover them.
Per-user pricing on the website.
Sticker price matches the invoice. Drata's pricing is gated behind a sales call by design; ours is a public page you can model against your team size.
Maturity-led, not checkbox-led.
ML0 → ML3, next step always visible. Built for teams that aren't compliance-mature yet — the moment most AU and UK organisations buy software.
Which one fits which organisation?
US enterprise, SOC 2 + white-glove.
- You're a US-focused enterprise (500+ headcount).
- SOC 2 is the primary deliverable for your buyers.
- You want white-glove implementation with a dedicated specialist.
- Annual contract minimums work for your budget cycle.
AU/UK organisation, multi-framework.
- You're an Australian or UK organisation.
- Essential Eight, APRA, or ISO 42001 is in your audit scope.
- You want transparent per-user pricing visible on the website.
- You can self-onboard with structured guidance — no white-glove tax needed.

Coming from Drata? Here's the move.
Export your evidence.
Drata exports to CSV / API. We import directly, or have us do it.
Map to AU/UK standards.
Most of your SOC 2 evidence maps to ISO 27001 controls. Cybereen pre-maps to Essential Eight, APRA, and the rest — so your existing evidence library mostly transfers.
First maturity assessment in week 1.
You're reporting against the standards that actually matter for AU/UK audits.
